EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of sketches titled "iii. Sketches of the islands Lagoon, Thrum-Cap, Bow-Island, the Two Groups". These remarkable drawings were discovered in April 1769 and created by the renowned explorer Captain James Cook during his second voyage from 1772 to 1775. The image portrays an array of intricate maps and illustrations that provide a glimpse into the uncharted territories explored by Cook. The album measures an impressive 49 x 70 cm and is housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a sense of historical authenticity to these cartographic masterpieces. Each stroke captures the meticulous surveying and hydrographic techniques employed by Cook's team as they navigated through unknown waters. These sketches offer valuable insights into early exploration and navigation in Oceania during the eighteenth century. They depict various islands such as Lagoon, Thrum-Cap, Bow-Island, Bird Island, Chain Island, and more scattered across the vast South Pacific Ocean. As we delve into this visual treasure trove from centuries past, we are reminded of Captain Cook's pioneering spirit and his significant contributions to geographical knowledge.
